After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 122 121. National Youth Team [Six hundred monthly tickets plus more!!!]

"Southern Dynasty or Northern Dynasty?"

"Of course it's the Northern Dynasty. The Southern Dynasty has no diplomatic relations with us. They still recognize a certain pseudo-island. We have very little communication with them in all aspects."

"But why do we have to play mixed doubles? Can't we just play normally?"

State Sports General Administration, listening to what Chen Long said to him, Zhan Lang couldn't help but reveal a weird expression on his face.

The first two games of the Jinling Newcomer King Contest ended very quickly. Zhan Lang easily passed the first two rounds of the competition, and the group returned to the General Administration of Sports.

However, as soon as he came back, Zhan Lang was called into the office.

"Can't we just play normally? Why do we have to play mixed doubles?"

Just communicate, why do you have to do this kind of thing?

Mixed doubles Go does not really demonstrate any real strength, and even experts do not see much entertainment value in it.

"The Go strength of the Northern Dynasty is...very average. This time the Northern Dynasty sports delegation is coming to exchange ideas, so we have to give them some face.

If the game goes normally, even if we find a few players from the provincial teams, it will be very difficult for the other side to win a game.

But if some of them play mixed doubles, the situation will be a little better. It is said that they have a good pair playing mixed doubles.

One is to increase the diversity of the competition items, and the other is to give people some opportunities to perform. "

After hearing this, Chen Long explained.

The exchange between sports events is not just an exchange, but more of a friendly project between the two countries.

For example, in the previous Go exchanges between China and Japan, in order to prevent China from losing so badly in Go, Japan also found a bunch of rookies to bring over to help China improve its record. So although China's performance was relatively worse later, it was not to the extent of being terrible.

After all, we are here for friendly exchanges, and it would be very unfriendly to kill them all.

That is not friendly communication, it is communication at the end of friendship.

Everyone comes here for other purposes, and if the process damages the purpose, that is not what we want.

"So I'm the one who comes on the court and plays mixed doubles for them?"

"Yes, just deal with it."

“Isn’t it too much trouble to play mixed doubles?”

Chen Long just shook his head when he heard this: "It doesn't matter if you think it's troublesome, because there will be a mixed doubles competition held in Japan in the second half of the year, and you have to find a partner to participate.

This is also to prepare you in advance. Mixed doubles requires not only the strength of both parties, but also the tacit cooperation between the partners. Otherwise, it will be too late to get used to each other when the game comes."

"Is it okay if you don't go?"

"It's good to have a game. Now I'm thinking about you for every game. Why don't you go?"

Chen Long was furious when he heard this. Do you know how rare it is for professional chess players in China to have competition opportunities?

Even if we include the two competitions you organized, there are only four professional competitions in the country, and one of them is in the form of a sports meeting.

We finally have the chance to participate in a competition held in Japan, but you're still unwilling to go.

"Mixed doubles doesn't help much either, and if my family member loses when I'm in an advantageous position, I'll be really pissed off."

If you make a mistake, you can slap yourself when you are angry, or even wake up in the middle of the night and slap yourself twice.

But my teammate made a wrong move, I can’t slap him, right?

Not to mention that my teammate is a woman, it’s hard to scold her.

Haven’t you seen how many people scolded someone for being uncultured just because he said a few words to his teammates, and how it has been used as a black history on the Internet for years?

Moreover, the number of female players in the national team can be counted on one hand, and they are not easy to mess with.

"Just think of it as training."

Seeing the tough attitude of the top leader, Zhan Lang felt that he couldn't be shameless. After all, this opportunity was something that others couldn't even beg for: "Then just forget about it, Sister Ye Qing. At least I have said a few words to her."

I always feel that Ye Qing’s personality is better, forget about the other things, and the age gap is even bigger.

"Ye Qing, that's fine too."

Chen Long's face looked a little strange when he heard this. It was Ye Qing who came to him and said that he didn't want to team up with other people, and suggested that Zhan Lang be invited to join.

Fang Yuan had really wanted to play with Ye Qing, but Ye Qing didn't seem to be very interested in him. After all, Fang Yuan had quite a few trees in his collection, and as the current number one Go player in China, he also had some fans.

I originally wanted to tell Zhan Lang directly, but Zhan Lang directly chose Ye Qing.

Is there something fishy going on between these two people?
Many people on the national Go team look for teammates, and the women are usually older than the men.

But Ye Qing seems to be a bit older than Zhan Lang, right? She seems to be eight years old, or nine years old?

Zhan Lang is 16 this year, and Ye Qing is 24.

Zhan Lang always felt that the way Old Chen looked at him was full of strange scrutiny, which was a bit puzzling.

Isn't this the person you asked me to choose?

"So is there anything else? You're leaving without me?"

Zhan Lang thought that he was called here just for this matter, and wanted to run away after discussing it.

Chen Long looked at Zhan Lang who couldn't sit still for three minutes and said helplessly: "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not just this matter." "What else is there? Boss, you have exhausted all my ideas. I really can't think of anything. Don't discuss the details with me. Just do whatever you want. I just need to pay for it."

Zhan Lang thought that Mr. Chen wanted to talk to him about the future development of Chinese Go, especially his views on competitions and talent cultivation, and he immediately began to beg for mercy.

When I chat with people, they all think I'm bragging, but it turns out that you take everything seriously and want to do it.

But the conditions are not so easy now.

"I'm not looking for you to discuss this. It's just that we have adopted a suggestion you made earlier and have already implemented it."

"So which advice?"

There was no way. Zhan Lang and Old Chen had boasted so much together that Zhan Lang himself almost forgot what he had said.

But after hearing this, Zhan Lang didn't know what to say. At this stage, the execution ability of the Sports Bureau is really amazing.

Although I didn't know what suggestion I was making, it was implemented not long after.

“It’s about developing the national junior team.

You are right. For Go, one must develop potential from an early age. It is too late to join the national team when one is in his or her teens and has reached a professional level.

The conditions of most provincial teams are not very good. In fact, the environment in many provinces does not even meet the conditions for striving for a professional career.

So I decided to develop a national youth team, select the best teenagers under the age of ten from each province, send them here for intensive training, and maximize their talents.

After all, even for your generation, the talent pool is too weak.”

Zhan Lang nodded without thinking: "Good news!"

Not to mention the current conditions, even in ten or twenty years, when young people from other places reach a certain level, they will have to go to big cities like the capital to receive vocational training before they have a chance to pursue a career.

It's okay now in economically developed places like Tianjin, but in other slightly less developed areas, it is basically impossible for those children who stay in the provincial team to reach the professional level.

Because they may not even have a profession there, how can they reach a realm that they have never seen before?
Only by recruiting these talented children into the national team for concentrated training in advance can their talents be maximized.

"You don't need to discuss this matter with me. Your leader can decide."

It's no use notifying me. Isn't the organization of the national youth team also your concern?
You don't want me to do administrative work, do you?
Look, it’s urgent again!
Chen Long nodded as a matter of course when he heard this: "Yes, I didn't discuss it with you, I just informed you directly that you will have three apprentices coming over in a few days, remember to meet them and take good care of them."

"what?"

When Zhan Lang heard this, he was stunned. Three disciples?

What the hell?

When did I have three apprentices?
"No, wait a minute, you want me to take care of an apprentice? I'm still a child! How can you let me take care of a child? I don't have the experience!
And there are three of them? I am not Tang Monk, how can I lead three disciples? If they sit on the ground and start crying, I won’t know how to comfort them. "

Zhan Lang was stunned when he heard what he said. I just said that you did a good job, but you stabbed me back, right?

Don't ask me for matters related to taking care of children. In my past life, those parents who played mahjong at home during the Chinese New Year had a headache taking care of their children.

Instead of just handing the three children over to me now, you might as well kill me.

Looking at Zhan Lang who was resisting, Chen Long said as a matter of course: “Of course, everyone in the national team has to lead, this is the obligation of the national team members, your task is already light.

Fang Yuan needs to lead five people, and those who have more energy may lead ten.

But don't worry, they are teaching in a centralized manner, but they will assign teachers one-on-one to help them answer their questions at other times."

The Go sport today is different from what it was in the future. It is basically cultivated by the state from beginning to end, unlike later when you needed to pay for training classes and receive commercial training yourself.

Therefore, all members of the national team are trained by the country, including Zhan Lang.

Since joining the provincial team, Zhan Lang and his teammates don't have to spend any money on food, drink, and toileting. The coach has to organize special training plans, and each athlete even receives a small subsidy every month.

During this period, there is basically no difference between being a regular employee and having a regular job. However, since you are enjoying this benefit, you naturally have to fulfill your obligations.

For example, when Zhan Lang and his teammates first joined the national team for training, there were people specifically training them.

However, the training target has now changed from young chess players who have just joined the national team to members of the new national youth team.

"I know."

Zhan Lang thought about it, then sighed and nodded. Rights and obligations are unified. He has enjoyed the rights for such a long time, he cannot just give up when the time comes to work.

Otherwise, what’s the difference between them and those boxers?
"I plan my time in advance so as not to delay my daily training."

"Don't worry too much. You are mostly just playing a supporting role. They have group classes most of the time. The main purpose of assigning tasks to each person is to keep an eye on their progress and help them develop better.

Moreover, I have picked out the best ones and put them in your hands. Although many people are not optimistic about your theory now, I feel that...

Let these children move faster, and each generation can do better, then there is hope for this country."

As Chen Long spoke, he handed a list of three people to Zhan Lang.

Zhu Zhuojiang.

Lu Hao.

Zhuang Xiaomeng.
